CHAT CLYDETry it freeMost AI assistants sound equally confident whether they are right or wrong, because nothing in the answer points back to a document. An AI that shows its sources takes a different route: it reads real material first — web pages, reports, judgments, your own uploads — writes the answer from those passages, and marks each claim with a citation you can open. The value is not the citation itself. It is that you can disagree with the answer and prove it.
It is an AI assistant that answers your question and then lists the documents or web pages the answer came from, usually as numbered citations you can click and read yourself. Instead of trusting the answer, you check it.
A plain language model writes from patterns learned during training, so there is no document behind any single sentence. Source-showing assistants work differently: they search or read real documents first, then write the answer from those passages and keep a record of which passage supported which claim.
Chat Clyde searches the web and any files you upload, quotes the passages it used, and puts a numbered citation next to each claim. Opening a citation shows the page, the document and the exact section it came from, so you can confirm it before you rely on it.
Yes. Upload PDFs, scans or photographs of pages. Chat Clyde extracts the text, including from scanned images, reads the whole file and cites the page it took each statement from.
Eight, including APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, OSCOLA, IEEE, Vancouver and a plain numbered style. You pick the style and copy the reference list straight into your work.
You get two free searches every day without a card. Unlimited use is $10 a month, with cheaper student pricing.
Not blindly. Citations make checking possible, not automatic. Open at least the sources behind the claims that matter to your decision, and confirm anything time-sensitive, legal, medical or financial with a qualified person.
Chat Clyde is a general assistant, and it goes deeper on Kenyan law: it points to the Act and section, decided cases, the right court or tribunal and the filing deadline, each with a source. It is research help, not legal advice.
It is the fastest way to judge a cited assistant: ask, then open the sources and see whether they say what the answer claims. Two free searches a day, no card.
